Electronic


PHASOR

Helado Negro
Best New Album
Roberto Carlos Lange eases back into the groove with a gorgeous, delicately
rendered album. It’s got space-age synths, wistful romance, and the breeziest
vibe in town.

By Julianne Escobedo Shepherd

Rap


EL LEÓN

greasy slice of hip-hop.

By Dylan Green

SHE REACHES OUT TO SHE REACHES OUT TO SHE

Chelsea Wolfe
Assisted by producer Dave Sitek, the goth-folk shapeshifter explores a new
dimension of her sound, bringing electronic atmospheres and industrial menace to
an album about submitting to the unknown.

By Ashley Bardhan

Rock


BAND ON THE RUN (50TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION)

Paul McCartney / Wings
Celebrating its 50th anniversary, a new expanded edition revisits the album that
burnished McCartney’s critical reputation after the Beatles’ breakup,
reestablishing as a force to contend with.

By Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Rock


PRELUDE TO ECSTASY

The Last Dinner Party
The London group’s opulent debut album channels baroque pop and prog of yore,
yet for all its high drama, the results sometimes sound too carefully plotted
and curiously professional.
